Seperating my 5G to two different speeds
I have an Epson printer and I need to set up WiFi but my WiFi is 5G and the printer wont take that speed. How do I spit the two. Customer Service cant help because my router isn't under warranty anymore. They sent me an email but it doesn't tell me in layman terms how to automatically split it. Can someone help?

What is the model number of the Netgear device you are using? Look on the label for a model number.
You can give your 5 GHz Wi-Fi SSID one name and your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi SSID a different name so you printer can tell them apart.
Most likely your Epson printer will only connect to the 2.4 GHz band.
